The legion of cars parked behind ikeja city mall... Billings way I think is crazy.. I counted about 30 and most drivers were in groups gisting... It's been a slow day... But I drove past them... Went into the mall and had barely switched off my car and I got a request...so I wonder if the drivers there are waiting for requests or just having a meeting.. To my best of knowledge.. Ehailing works with proximity... The closer you are to the rider the better for you.. But what do I know... I might be wrong ✌

On taxify, its how close you are, but uber comes randomly.... Been sleeping through out this week, don't call me lazy, I'm d zy in lazy nd dat I know

ifyeez:
Somebody will get request of 15min pickup only for the rider to be going to the next house on that same street with Taxify Nawao.

Bonus loading...

Since all of una don go sleep, shey I fit close gate in peace... I no go open gate for any night crawler, me too won sleep, once I finish blowing whistle

ifyeez:
Make e use em mouth comot sweet way God give am.
Surge is the only thing that compensate all the long hours under hot sun.

The thing fear me when I read em, tell rider he/she is on surge and see d way deh cancel and request again

ifyeez:
One guy once asked me,
guy shey na from ABJ you carry this geh come ni.
I don't answer such question, pay me my money that's what I care about, also such people ve dealt with me, by telling me dey will do transfer that network is bad now.
Now I make sure I see alert b4 we depart

Lol, I'm not suppose to answer the question, but I just don't want to b disrespectful. If its ard 1k, I let go of after transfer, but 11k plus, nah to lock car, excuse myself into dia sitting room and follow dem deh watch TV till I get alert.

ifyeez:
Sharp guy you know the story nah

Lol! Even if it cost all day, lekki is lekki... Took d best ever lekki trip on Xmas. End fee amount to 11+, the guy dat is meant to pay asked, how come? Where did u pick her from? Me: Ab place.... Payer: and she told me she's living at yz place. In my mind una problem, u guys should try and settle it.

Guys r trying, almost every trip this week is a third party trip *mouth closed*

ifyeez:
Hope I get paid for real, am waiting coz I need this trip, if not cancel

What lekki trip will cause, lekki self no go fit stand em

If dia is a phrase and sentence I can never forget today, deh will b "How come" & "Hope its not on surge"

iyaegin:
So am observing Christmas at home with the Fam and just peeped into the Uber app..i shouted blood of Jesus..uber red all over I don change mind I must work this evening.the bonanza cannot pass me by...i never work since I chop Bonus on Sunday night...

But wait oh...why is the whole mainland Blood Red and Lekki and environ zero surge or just 1.4 around Agungi side..very strange meanwhile reverse was the case this early morning...

Lol! I said I wasn't going to work too, but after eating and every where is red, I just ask myself what are you even doing now? Nothing... I on my app straight, told friends to chill till 6. The red is beyond temptation

shollywendy1:
Ya salem!..wetin u dey do for my territory?..straight outta to alexandrial ..they 'll entertain u with ahesh with tameya..lol

Shabi nah rider I won go drop & we r trained not to ask destination. That was how I got a request on Sunday

Phone call:
Rider: where r u?
Me: Ogba
Rider: I'm in Alagbole going to Lambe
Me: Sir, where I am is very far from you
Rider: Don't worry, I'll wait, just be coming
Me: Ohk Sir

Shut my eyes, while waiting for request from the other end

Is it right to drive today? Just thinking out loud

brogxy:
Those are the trip requests you will be getting here at this period. Got a lot of them but the pickups were crazy.

Lol! I'm leaving! I'm off naija for now

Epphy:
How do you manage not getting trips taking you out of those ends?

Grace

brogxy:
The Surge here is really crazy. But hope you know that there will be a lot of traffic, making the fare you charged not worth it.

Yes! I understand, but on NY way to lekki the road was total free and hopely I get same luck back. The mad surge on Uber right now is need extra energy

Fostercat:
Ogba to agungi 10k? If no traffic,It is cool. But if there is traffic enroute,You just did Father Christmas. Anyways it's a season of giving

If u have been doing taxify lately don't b surprise if the to and fro end btw 6/7k without surge, eyes have seen, I've taken some boys from Berger to lekki 1400, I try as much as I can to tell them app issue, but they won't listen, I just bone review, since its cash trip.

At least I don chop 1.8 and 2.2 surge, while she is busy doing her tin, me too I'm rotating btw phase 1 and ajah only

iyaegin:
Eskiss sah...hope Aseju never enter for here abi n.a. Hybrid I dey drive.....how mush come be ya fuelling n.a. brosss

This platform done cast, still manage to crack a smile after my special customer tie me down, ogba to agungi to and fro 10k. Can't resist her and she will take my till 3/4. I just deh boil inside

Bro. There are too many stupid people in the world. Too many lazy people. We all have lazy relatives. We all have that relative that always reasons left. Imagine that person as an uber driver. They will make excuses for Africa.

Uber driving is peculiar. Not everyone can do it. Funny thing is those that cannot do it are blocking the view of those that can. Unserious people exist in every facet of life. Let the mentality that every uber driver is perfect and sane, stop. You see them complaing no request no request but go to any shoprite and you will find over 50 uber and taxify drivers parked there and gisting. Doing nothing. Waiting for request to come to them instead of being proactive with their positioning. How many people come to shoprite and where is their likely destination except short distances? How will they get request? There will be surge in Surulere and Yaba in the morning, but you will see 25 - 30 uber drivers on airport queue waiting. Waiting for what and who exactly? How many flights come in by that time? How will they get request? These are verifiable facts.

Many people don't have sense. You and I know this fact. How can you give a corolla to someone that doesn't have sense and expect him to deliver? Many of the uber drivers that are making this money have the same mindset, which is being their own bosses. So they know they cannot drive a car forever. That's why they hustle hard, make money, and invest in other stuff. But when someone that doesn't have sense is given the sharpest tools, he won't achieve nothing. How can someone wake up by 8am, start work by 10am and close by 6pm and still expect to meet up? There are very simple traits of hustlers that are inherent in them. It cannot be learnt and it cannot be taught. A hustler will always find a way. A non hustler will always complain.

There is always a surge most mornings in Lagos even before this seasonal surge. A surge occurs because riders outnumber drivers and why won't they be outnumbered when they are sleeping?

See people making money these past few weeks and posting results. I can still tell you that there are drivers here who did not still meet up with their rentals this same week that ended because they are fuckingly lazy. Try as much as you want to demonize dru23. He is saying the truth. It's just that majority of Nairaland drivers are too daft and lazy and will do anything to defend themselves including logging in with the various accounts they use for car begging, and liking their own posts when the truth is hit on their head.

Partners should wise up. If there was no money in this business the companies would have folded up. Drivers are the problem. All a partner should do is make sure his cars are in perfection before giving them out and watch the pattern of those drivers. Sack anyone who sleeps too much. If everyone slept as much as they do, things won't work out.

Give a lazy man the sharpest tools and send him to farm. He will still find a way to complain.

I know a guy on HP. He sleeps all day. But works all night. He owed his landlord. Because he prioritized paying his HP rental than his house rent. Sacrifice. He had a goal. Now he has paid off the car. These ones here want to pay 25k, sleep all day, eat the best food, have enough airtime and data for rubbish, flex, and be patted on the back for being a driver. Rubbish. Change your hustle. Return that car.

I won't stop exposing them.

In as much as I agree with your post, its seems like you are missing the big picture. Drivers should be carried along in the scheme of things. Taxify should enable to carry drivers along, places that use to be 2300/2500 is now 1300, thou surge is on the high side, but when the party is over and d surge is down, are they going to revert to normal price? I feel everyone should work in accordance to his/her target, its not necessary you wake by 4 or 8am, it all depend on your goals.



But one thing I know, a divided house can never stand and a drop in price again, won't b doing any good to the driver.

Please we can pass our messages across without calling each other names, the essence of the platform is to enlighten each other, disagree and agree

chucsmoore:
Done for d week

Resperk

ifyeez:
Because people like you couldn't comply, at least we made them recognize we are the head of there operation, without drivers NO Taxify n Uber.
Taxify was scared so dey explained there reason for the fare decrement.

Boss abeg no drag any thing, when the price reduce more, everyone eyes go clear that we are just being use to settle scores, between Uber and taxify.

franksam2009:
ur mind is evil Sha, is he not a man like you? why didn't u insist he pays for d damages, you allow him go now u are wasting precious time thinking evil. Bro think MONEY not EVIL.

Uncle yesterday is gone... Note, break fluid will do normal justice to the damage. Here is wot I am saying, manner of approach, claiming its normal with reckless driving and threatening me. He refuse to pull over, what do you expect me to do? Drag staring with him? Or display drama in the middle of the road? When someone is mean and head on, you show him what you can do and if he pass you, at least you try... But the last thing I'll do is unnecessary noise when there is visitation as option.

But like I said, yesterday is gone, today is another vibe.

HisMajesty1:
This post is still validation seeking. Overcoming it requires not telling us at all and living it out.

Nah... Healing!

ifyeez:
if catch that Taxify femi. Just negodu rubbish

Lol! Taxify for show... Too over smart company

ifyeez:
Some trips are not worth it

Don't see myself going to that area again, car coming out of dia unhurt is so unlikely

chucsmoore:
We learn on d job every single fuccking day. At least u have learnt your own. Next time if u hear ayobo, u do d needful without further explanation. Lagos-Abeokuta expressway is always bad market. I only go there when I know the road is free of traffic to and fro.

Sure I know, but I have rejected 3 trips going to same axis, so I've already made up on my mind on the 4th request

chucsmoore:
minimum of 8 trips per day. But I target surging areas a lot like Surulere, Lagos island and Lekki phase 1. These areas dey boost earnings a lot. If u happen to get 3 surge trips of long distance in a day, u don make 20k already

My greatest regret is accepting Ayobo trip from Ogba thinking the day is still early, the kind traffic I encounter to and fro is enough to call it a day

GAZZUZZ:
just forgive him... nah traffic and surge cloud him judgement.

Boss u too much... Drivers should learn to b civil, no one is above mistake, but should stop using this is Lagos driving, other ppl do hit me as yardstick.

GAZZUZZ:
Uncle free the small boi.....

My oga, the guy obviously don smoke on some kind of e-hailing frustration... The scratching is so unnecessary and he was so rude with telling me its normal, I should accept sorry like that.

A Uber/taxify driver with this number AAA 14FF blue Toyota corolla scratch my bumper and all d fool can say "that's how they use to scratch him". I hail him! I'll so work on his case that they will b doing him in point A in will b seeking for solution in point B.

Thanks

Epphy:
I hope it's working now....it might be due to the network in your area. Next time you have such an issue, you can use wireless hotspot if you have another smartphone.

Same same, I've used both hotspot, drove on Uber, but the taxify is still bringing no Connection
